you know, tumblr dot com, i will NEVER understand people who claim renault did/said the things he did/said because he WANTS TO ... like, as if they were something he actually thinks (mind you, he's around 11 in his first appearance, and then he's around 16-17 in the second one)

like- okay, get this. he was sold to bonnard by his family because of poverty at 7, and at 7 you're still forming your whole view of the world, those are still formative years. renault has been getting manipulated by a GROWN ASS MAN (a pedophile on top of that) since his formative years!

his parents, essentially, abandoned him. and when bonnard stepped up he suddenly had someone to look up to, bonnard is the one who stayed, and it's not a surprise that renault would have an unhealthy attachment towards the man who:

- got him out of poverty, providing basic necessities like assuring he had a plate of food in front of him 3 times a day and stuff

- didn't abandon him

- "saved him"

bonnard gave renault a life of luxury, and it's definitive that he thinks that he OWES HIM HIS LIFE, he would've starved to death back in italy, bonnard prevented that AND reinforced the thought many times (by making him feel special and stuff like that)

renault's entire self-worth is based on how happy he can make bonnard or how much he can satisfy him, if bonnard is paying attention to him then that means he's doing well, and he's willing to injure himself in order to fulfill that necessity.

renault and bonnard are a direct parallel to gilbert and auguste, and looking at the latter's dynamic gives us a possible glimpse of what happens behind closed doors with renault and bonnard.

this scene! oh boy this scene. to remind you: bonnard gets injured by auguste in a duel, and renault (who is INJURED HIMSELF, with no shoes and in the snow) can only think about bonnard's safety, mind you he's around gilbert's age (9-11 at the time), probably a year older, so he's very young. he's not an adult, he's a groomed child who is willing to risk his own safety in order to ensure his "master's".

anyway, on top of that, it's known that bonnard has SAed a bunch of other boys before gilbert (gilbert being the "only one who got away") and it's said that it's to make them submissive, and seeing how he treated gilbert shortly after meeting him, there's a HIGH chance he did the same with renault (you know, a child getting taken away from his family and with a bad temper, he's more defiant!)

his first meeting with gilbert (the abuse) + him telling auguste to sell gilbert to him is probably a parallel to how he first met renault when he was little. and we've seen what happened there.

renault was groomed by bonnard the way gilbert was groomed by auguste, that's it!

conclusion: renault is as much of a victim as gilbert is, he is most likely (99% sure) a SA victim, and bonnard is sick and i think we should execute him in town square!

when you talk shit about renault this is who you're talking shit about by the way!

(also! thanks to @iiyarada for helping me with some points and helping me organize the whole idea behind this, bless his heart!)

I mean... Keiko most likely read at least some Osamu Tezuka manga growing up, right?

I made this instead of working on my AU... Or, you know, sleeping...

Some of the artworks featured in the exhibition Les Choses, at The Louvre (click for full picture)

Cartels de l’exposition pour ces œuvres :

- Pain et Figues, 50-79 de notre ère, peinture murale, Herculanum

Dans ce tableautin très simple, deux figues brunes et un pain doré renvoient à une grande frugalité, que la douceur des fruits, vantée par Pline l’Ancien dans son Histoire naturelle (an 77), tempère à peine. Et pour cause : il n’est pas question ici de susciter l’envie, la gourmandise, mais d’exprimer le contraire, un idéal de diète “philosophique”, dont Socrate (vers 470/469-399 avant notre ère), le mangeur de pain, est le parangon, lui qui critiquait les plus gloutons de ses contemporains. Dans leur dénuement, ces petites choses du quotidien ont leur morale sévère qui en impose.

- Schädel [Crâne], 1983, Gerhard Richter

Au début des années 1980, Richter est fasciné par le motif du crâne, qui lui offre de mettre à distance ses effets, de les canaliser, en inscrivant sa peinture dans la tradition. Il prend alors le contre-pied de la peinture néo-expressionniste allemande, spontanée, subjective, violente. Rien de tel ici, où le memento mori tend même à s’effacer derrière les moyens de la peinture : la géométrie impeccable, la rigueur minimale, le quasi-monochrome. Seule la lumière dégage la coquille renversée du crâne, et rappelle in fine le sens d’une vanité appliquée aux illusions et aux certitudes du siècle.

- Coin de table, 1934, Pierre Bonnard

Sur cette toile presque carrée, rien n’est facilement identifiable. Bonnard ne s’intéresse pas à la représentation mimétique des choses, mais à la beauté simple du quotidien et à ses sensations. Ce Coin de table est un prétexte à expérimenter les moyens de les exprimer : format et cadrage, vue en surplomb des objets, étirés, aplatis, ployés, fusionnés, jeu de la lumière qui émane de la matière picturale elle-même, travaillée d’une touche virtuose. Après Chardin, Bonnard fait encore de la nature morte le lien où se manifeste une magie énigmatique.

- Pipes et vases à boire, dit La Tabagie, vers 1737, Jean Siméon Chardin

Chardin a représenté une série d’objets qu’il possédait, de petites choses sans qualité extraordinaire, en particulier une tabagie de palissandre. La grande simplicité, l’équilibre de l’ensemble sont remarquables. Tout s’assemble, tout s’épanouit harmonieusement pour suggérer le charme de la vie telle qu’elle est, dans ses choses mêmes. Diderot prêtait une magie singulière à la peinture de Chardin. Cette Tabagie la contient, où agit le mystère de la présence des choses, comme des personnages de l’histoire, animées d’un mouvement et d’une lumière intérieure.

- Intérieur d’un magasin de porcelaines et d’objets chinois, 1680-1700, peintre anonyme néerlandais

Un anonyme néerlandais, fasciné comme nombre de ses contemporains par les objets de luxe asiatiques, s’est inspiré des représentations de cabinets de collectionneurs pour inventer une boutique imaginaire qui rassemble avec fantaisie et jubilation tous ces trésors tant convoités. L’artiste a peint cette chinoiserie sur une feuille d’éventail, lui-même un article de luxe décrivant les merveilles d’Orient et d’Extrême-Orient. Une fois mise au carré pour être encadrée, cette feuille est devenue à son tour un objet d’art européen ouvrant sur le vaste monde.

- Natura Morta, 1944, Giorgio Morandi

Cette nature morte est exemplaire de l’art de Morandi à traduire le mystère et la poésie des choses. L’artiste a élu des objets simples, ordinaires, qu’il collectionnait, et il les a mis en scène selon un dispositif réglé, avec une grande économie de moyens. Disposés en frise sur un fond neutre, de formes et de hauteurs différentes, peints dans des harmonies sourdes de blanc nacré rompues par la boule de hochet jaune et bleue, ils sont comme figés dans le temps, silencieux et secrets. Morandi les a ainsi rendus présents au monde d’une manière qui excède leur fonction, intrigants, voir obsédants.

- La Chambre de Van Gogh à Arles, 1889, Vincent Van Gogh

Pour Van Gogh, sa chambre de sa maison jaune, à Arles, devait être très simple et “vide”, comme un intérieur japonais. Il détestait les choses de la bourgeoisie, l’accumulation des bibelots, source de confusion mentale. Il lui fallait de l’ordre, et ce tableau devait créer les conditions du repos, une sorte d’asile de paix, avec juste les choses nécessaires, où calmer la tête et l’imagination. L’artiste devait tenir à cette projection mentale rassurante, qui le dépeint en creux : la première peinture de cette chambre (1888) ayant été endommagée, il la refit en effet deux fois (1889).

- Six coquillages sur une table de pierre, 1696, Adriaen Coorte

Une sorte de paradoxe gît dans cette petite composition, d’une infinie délicatesse, où ces quelques coquillages, presque insignifiants de prime abord, renvoient pourtant à la puissance de l’économie coloniale néerlandaise, fondée sur la Compagnie des Indes orientales depuis 1602. Tous, en effet, viennent des mers du Sud, rapportés par bateaux. Alors que le goût des curiosités se développait en Europe, au contact d’autres mondes, les tableautins de Coorte devaient être appréciés par des collectionneurs qui doublaient leurs précieux trésors de leurs représentations.

- Livret de dévotion, vers 1330-1340, ivoire polychrome et doré, Cologne

Ce double feuillet représentant les Arma Christi (les “Armes du Christ”) fait partie d’un petit livret de dévotion. Aux scènes de la Passion du Christ, qui y sont également représentées, sans texte, répondent les instruments de cette Passion, soigneusement inventoriés dans l’image : des trente deniers reçus par Judas pour prix de sa trahison au tombeau vide, en passant par le roseau et le fouet de la flagellation. Rien ne manque, excepté le Christ lui-même, absent, mais présent dans chacune de ces choses qui devaient faire récit, engager à la prière et à la méditation.

Gays stole his fucking pillow

[riverbird]

"In a letter to his brother, Michelangelo is said to have written, “I have no friends of any sort and I don’t want any.” Leonardo da Vinci swore by solitude as the road to wisdom and artistic perfection. In company, he is said to have once declared, “only half of you will belong to yourself.” Paul Cezanne was a recluse in his hometown, Aix, where he devoted himself to painting studies of nearby Mont Sainte-Victoire. Pierre Bonnard was a contemporary of Matisse and Monet but, loner that he was, honed a style wholly apart from the popular movements of his time as he painted his beloved wife, Marthe, in luminous tones again and again. Edgar Degas painted pretty ballerinas but always went home alone; he is said never to have had a love affair all his life. Pablo Picasso, despite his numerous love affairs and several marriages, was a self-described loner as well. Gustav Klimt rendered pairs of lovers with a whimsical sensitivity far ahead of his time; his sister wrote of him that “like all artists, he also needed a lot of love … he was not naturally gregarious but a loner, and it therefore had to be the duty of his brothers and sisters to eliminate all the little things in his daily life that were inconvenient…. We understood his silent coming and going…. Once he had gathered strength, he would plunge into his work with such vehemence that we often thought the flames of his genius might consume him alive.” The list goes on: Jean Dubuffet. Ford Madox Brown. Charles Schulz. Georgia O'Keeffe lived in isolation in New Mexico, far from artistic and intellectual circles, and drove Southwestern backroads solo in a Model A Ford with its backseat removed so that she could paint in the car. A biography of Andy Warhol is tellingly titled Loner at the Ball."

Three's a Crowd . 29 November 2024 . Umbrellas in the Rain . Maurice Brazil Prendergast . 1899

Title: Umbrellas in the Rain Artist: Maurice Brazil Prendergast (American (born in Canada), 1858–1924)1899 Medium/Technique: Watercolor over graphite pencil on paper; verso: pencil and watercolor sketch for arcade and lamp post.

Dimensions: Sheet: 35.4 x 53 cm (13 15/16 x 20 7/8 in.) Framed: 61 x 78.4 cm (24 x 30 7/8 in.) Credit Line: The Hayden Collection—Charles Henry Hayden Fund

Maurice Brazil Prendergast was an American Post-Impressionist artist who worked in oil, watercolor, and monotype. He exhibited as a member of The Eight, though the delicacy of his compositions and mosaic-like beauty of his style differed from the artistic intentions and philosophy of the group.

Maurice Prendergast and his twin sister, Lucy, were born at their family's subarctic trading post in the city of St. John's, in Newfoundland, then a colony in British North America. After the trading post failed, the family moved to Boston. He grew up in the South End and was apprenticed as a youth to a commercial artist. This conditioned him from the start to the brightly colored, flat patterning effects that characterized his mature work. He was also inspired by the example of Boston Impressionist Childe Hassam. A shy individual who experienced increasing deafness in his later years, Prendergast remained a bachelor throughout his life. He became closely attached to his younger brother Charles, who was also a post-impressionist painter.

Prendergast studied in Paris from 1891 to 1895, at the Académie Colarossi with Gustave Courtois and Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant and at the Académie Julian. During one of his early stays in Paris, he met the Canadian painter James Morrice, who introduced him to English avant-garde artists Walter Sickert and Aubrey Beardsley, all ardent admirers of James McNeill Whistler. A further acquaintance with Édouard Vuillard and Pierre Bonnard placed him firmly in the Post-Impressionist camp. He also studied the work of Vincent van Gogh and Georges Seurat at retrospectives held in Paris in 1891 and 1892. Prendergast was additionally one of the first Americans to espouse the work of Paul Cézanne and to understand and utilize his expressive use of form and color.

Prendergast returned to Boston in 1895 and worked mainly in watercolor and monotyping. A trip to Venice in 1898 exposed him to the genre scenes of Vittore Carpaccio and encouraged him to experiment with even more complex and rhythmic arrangements. His inventive watercolors of Venice are among his most appreciated works today. In 1900, he had major exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago and at Macbeth Galleries in New York, which earned him critical acclaim. He showed in a National Arts Club exhibition in 1904, through which he befriended the painters William Glackens, Robert Henri, and John French Sloan. He exhibited with them in 1908 at Macbeth Galleries, along with George Luks, Everett Shinn, and Arthur B. Davies, a group collectively known after the show as The Eight. Glackens in particular became a lifelong friend.

Despite poor health that hindered his work, Prendergast continued to show in major exhibitions throughout the remainder of his life. Important collectors like Albert Barnes and Ferdinand Howald became his patrons after his shows at the Carroll Gallery and the Daniel Gallery. His seven works at the landmark Armory Show of 1913 presented examples of his stylistic maturity. Seen in company with the most adventurous examples of Post-Impressionism and Fauvism, "his critical reception grew more favorable in [the] immediate aftermath [of that exhibition.]" In 1916, he participated in the "Fifty at Montross" show at the Montross Gallery, which also included works by Cézanne, Matisse, Seurat, and Van Gogh. His work was the subject of a retrospective at Joseph Brummer Gallery in 1921, but the Metropolitan Museum of Art declined to host a Prendergast memorial retrospective after his death in 1924; at that time, his art was still seen as too demanding and advanced for the Metropolitan's trustees. His first New York memorial exhibition was held ten years later at the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Prendergast exhibited at the Macbeth Galleries in 1908 with the short-lived association of artists known as "The Eight" because he supported their protest against the academic bias and restrictive exhibition policies of the powerful, conservative National Academy of Design. He believed in a "no jury, no prizes" openness that would allow independent or unconventional artists greater opportunities to find a wider, appreciative audience for their work. This controversial exhibition, which acquired legendary status in American art history, is seen as a seminal moment in the public response to Ashcan realism, as that form of gritty urban representational art was the style practiced by five of the participants (Henri, Sloan, Luks, Shinn, and Glackens), but Prendergast has nothing in common, in style or content, with that school of painting. Prendergast was far more a Modernist than any of the other seven members of The Eight. His ties to The Eight did not necessarily help his reputation in the long run: "Prendergast's irrevocable association with The Eight left him stylistically isolated in genealogies of modern art." A true independent, he fits into no particular category of modern American art.

Prendergast's work was strongly associated from the beginning with leisurely scenes set on beaches and in parks. His early work was mostly in watercolor or monotype, and he produced over two hundred monotypes between 1895 and 1902. He also experimented with oil painting in the 1890s, but did not focus on that medium until the early 1900s.

He developed early in his career and continued throughout his life to elaborate a highly personal style, with boldly contrasting, jewel-like colors, and flattened, pattern-like forms rhythmically arranged on a canvas. Forms were radically simplified and presented in flat areas of bright, unmodulated color. His paintings have been aptly described as tapestry-like or resembling mosaics.
